The city of West Lake Hills was incorporated as a village on September 9, 1953. West Lake Hills today encompasses approximately the same area and boundaries, although a number of jurisdictional issues with Austin temporarily put the community's legal status in limbo. The city is approximately four square miles in size.
Residents have plenty of schools to choose from. The Eanes Independent School District oversees Westlake High School, Hill Country Middle School, West Ridge Middle School, Barton Creek Elementary, Bridge Point Elementary, Cedar Creek Elementary, Eanes Elementary, Forest Trail Elementary and Valley View Elementary.
Community involvement is very important to residents of Westlake. A community education program uses publicly supported facilities after regular school hours throughout the year for a variety of educational, recreational and service activities for people of all ages.
Travis County Parks helps area residents experience the amazing beauty of the area, from lakes and hills to rivers and prairies. Thanks to the parks department, people are able to sail or scuba dive in one of the clearest lakes in Texas and to observe one of the largest and most varied migratory bird populations in the country. Facilities are also available for softball, soccer, family picnics, hiking and nature study. Of course, you can just lean back and enjoy the spectacular county sunsets.
The delights of Austin are tantalizingly close. In addition to being the home of Texas government, it is also home to the renowned University of Texas. In addition, Austin is a center for the arts and culture. The city has been described as both a "graceful river city" and a technological mecca. Austin is truly a modern metropolis with a unique history and rhythm, whose enchantments have to be experienced to be appreciated.
